BAPI_PTMGRATTABS_MNGCREATION inexplicable error

Question

Hi all,
I built a custom BAPI to insert various absence types in IT2001. This custom BAPI is very simple, and substantially only encapsulates the use of standard BAPI BAPI_PTMGRATTABS_MNGCREATION, taking care of preliminary locking of CID and successive commit or rollback upon BAPI result.
Using this standard BAPI I have very strange results: it seems to work for some absence types and instead it gives the same single error (HRTIM00REC - 012) fom many others. Besides, and most important it seems that the BAPI check against the wrong absence type, different from the one specified in abs_att_type parameter.
For example, I try calling BAPI_PTMGRATTABS_MNGCREATION with the following parameters (passed through custom BAPI)
Employeenumber = 00070770
abs_att_type = 0021
hrabsatt_in =
from_date = 20080311
to_date = 20080311
Start_time =
End_time =
Abs_att_hours = 4.00
All_day_flag =
Previuos_day =
lockindicator = ’ ’
simulate = ’ ’
Return table contains one information row and one error row, that seems to occur in standard function HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA. Trying to debug the BAPI BAPI_PTMGRATTABS_MNGCREATION, it seems that correct parameters are used in all subsequent function call.
So it’s inexplicable why the error I s checked against absence type 0019, and not 0021 originally passed as parameter in BAPI call.
Do someone have any insight on this?
Many thanks in advance.
